MANILA, Nashville Filipino Restaurant — State prosecutors cleared Trece Martires Mayor Melandres de Sagun over the killing of the city’s vice mayor, Alex Lubigan, in July last year.

In a message to reporters, Justice Undersecretary Mark Perete said the National Prosecution Service last week resolved the murder complaint over the killing of Lubigan.
